I currently work at GNC - college student. Its one of the best college student jobs because i mostly do homework and sell to people when they come in.
Right now the big commission items are as follows:
Hydroxycut Hardcore 120cap = 4.50
HH 210 cap = 7.50
Muscle Tech's Jay Mass Stack = 15.00
Lipo 6x 120cap = 4.50
Lipo 6x 210cap = 7.50
And theres lots of other items that are bewteen $1-$4 per bottle as well.
Someone said that u get spiffs on gold cards and its only 50cents now per card ...... = lame.
Also most employees get only 1% on all GNC items and now ALL employees hired after Nov. 10 of 2007 WILL NOT recieve any percentage off any GNC items.
So basically in the long run GNC screws themselves since selling a few bottle of third party products give u way more comission then GNC products.
MOST people think u get lots of money working at GNC but in the end ur going out with only 10-11$ an hour with commision applied.
Most people bash on GNC employees and it seems really ridiculous to me since most are just college students looking for a flexible job while going to school that pays more then minimum wage. SO DONT expect any GNC employees to be experts in anything and GNC DOES NOT CLAIM they have educated employees on the supplements they sell. SO to call people stupid who work at GNC is just pointing out ur own stupidity.
ALSO having worked at GNC now 3 years i run into to maybe 2 people every month that actually have some idea of what supplements do and are educated in the basics of diet and excersise. SO when u say all employees just push you on products that sux its true because they get the most commission on that product (as well as me...im tired of trying to help people that think taking a diet pill and sitting on the couch works when i rather up my own paycheck). ALSO u WOULD BE AMAZED at how amny people come in argueing with me that we sell steroids or diet pills that make them skinny or big without going to the gym. AFTER 3 years of working at GNC i have personally given up on helping people meet there goals with there stupidity and would rather up my own paycheck at there expense.
